Thanks in advance for the replies!

I didn't really get to look at it, but I will look more closely soon and comment. Thanks for posting it though!

Man, if I had the money, I'd love to do a Death Korps of Krieg Army......After reading about the roughriders in your list JC...it reminded me of my grand vision of a death Korps Army. I guess everyone likes em.

Hehe, I likely very very much.

I think the conscripts aren't worth it. Your gonna find them getting cut down too quickly and with WS 2 and BS 2 your not gonna be doing that great with them. Then again I guess your idea is to put the commisar's in there, which could be effective I imagine, though since the Commisar then becomes an independent character he can get popped off real fast in CC.

The squads look pretty solid. I like the mixing of anti-personell weaponery with the squad members along with squads with no weapons. And of course your Fast Attack and Heavy Support are fantastic choices.

If I were you I'd take out the 2 conscript squads and maybe add another veteran squad with 2 flamers and a grenade launcher (or melta) and give them shotguns. This (with a commisar in it) would be very nasty. 14 to 16 shots (hitting on 3's) followed by an assault? Very nasty indeed IMO. You can also send some of the other veterans into the CC one, since that main veteran squad seems to be more for blasting away stuff.

Otherwise I generally like it! Minus the standard bearer who I think is useless. Otherwise Awesome!

yeah do that if not add lascannons with the extar points you want obliteratiors, wraithlords, and big bugs to be SCARED of you...

@Scurrdi: Why do you think the standard is useless? The conscripts are meant to be a tarpit to hold up nasty cc units.

Banner I think is useless cause if you take any wounds on your command squad your forced to drop that banner early on, which means you'll lose it's benefits. Remember, you've only got 5 guys in that squad and guardsmen drop like flies!

Also, the conscripts might be able to do that pretty well I imagine. I mean I guess you can keep them if thats your overall goal / playing style. I just don't think they are worth it personally. Then again, different playing styles call for different units. Thats really the sweetest thing about the guard.

@ 2k points you should have a Warhound or a flyer or a Mecharius.

2k points like, usually Gladiator events you are allowed to take FW shit.
